bǎn

a register

block of printing; edition; version; page

flat piece (片) + reverse (反) = printing edition

片 grounds the meaning in a physical flat surface — the wooden block a printer carves. 反 mainly lends the sound bǎn, though the image of flipping a block to stamp a page is a pleasing accident.
